Diary

Having done a thorough read-through, Yu Xiaolong noted a few key points regarding beast transformations.

The first point, the beast form would influence the human form. The beast's instincts, temperament, and characteristics would affect the growth of the human body.

Meaning that he, Yu Xiaolong, would become a handsome and graceful dude in the future.

The second point, the beast forms are standardized into 12 main families. The nine mortal families and 3 immortal families.

The fish family, which Yu Xiaolong is part of, is famous for its beauty, grace, mystery, and elusiveness.

The bovine family, famous for its strength, endurance, stubbornness, and recklessness.

The canine family, famous for its loyalty, bravery, intelligence, and teamwork.

The feline family, famous for its cunning, nimbleness, finesse, and haughtiness.

The avian family, famous for its speed, eyesight, and dominance in the air.

The reptile family, famous for its vitality, defense, patience, and calmness.

the amphibian family, famous for its ability to live on land and water, its poison defense, and camouflage ability.

The insect family, famous for its high fertility, gluttony, and unique social caste.

The arachnid family, famous for its malevolence, cruelty, and ingenious poisonous abilities.

The behemoth and leviathan families, which are part of the three immortal families are similar in terms of characteristics. Both families could grow to monstrous sizes, becomes stronger by age, and could wield devastating magic abilities.

The behemoth and leviathan families are very intense rivals. These families are known for territorial disputes. Both families practice terraforming to suit their body needs, and both families race to compete against each other to expand their territorial borders.

The leviathan family, the ruling family of the oceans, seeks to expand its waters, dreaming to submerge the continents to its kingdom. The behemoth family, on the other hand, could tirelessly raise mountains and continents. They seek to fill the waters to expands their lands, aiming to build their own paradise.

The dragon family, the leading family, is generally seen as the kings of skies. Like the behemoth and leviathan families, the dragon family would only grow stronger with age. Although they are known to establish their territories high up in the skies, some dragons would prefer to snatch the territories of other families, especially those belonging to the behemoths and leviathans.

According to the legends, dragons are dominating species with little to nil fertility rate. However, a dragon's presence would influence the surroundings to adapt draconic traits. The places where dragons reside would be pervaded with dragon grass and their rocky dens would gradually transform to dragonstone.

Another unique trait of the dragons is that their blood is capable of transforming the other families into pseudo-dragons. They use this practice to expand their brood and add on to their population.

The third point, Shifters with beast-forms are capable of rapid growth by the virtue of their bloodline. They do, however, suffer from bloodline shackles, which provides a bottleneck to their path to strength.

A beast shifter could use battles to break his or her shackles. There also exist wondrous treasures that could aid in surpassing limits. Another method is to devour another beast shifter's flesh and blood, it would provide mutations that could either be a boon or a bane.

The fourth point, beast shifters could cultivate using spiritual or demonic techniques. These techniques would promote a shifter's beast form into either a spiritual beast or a demonic beast. Cultivation techniques are pathways leading to ascension into a divine beast.

Spiritual techniques temper the spirit and energy of the beast, while demonic techniques temper the flesh and blood.

A spiritual beast is a beast that discarded its flesh and blood to progress into the divine. Its body is composed of energy, unbound by the laws of physics, and could shift to ethereality at will.

A demonic beast is a beast that specializes in strengthening its body. its body is filled with overwhelming vitality, absurd defenses, and unmatched strength.

A divine beast is a beast that reached the limit of their chosen path and transcended that limits. it would either have an eternal spirit or an eternal body. It's considered by many as the closest to true immortality.

As Yu Xiaolong was busying over on how to solve his predicament. Loud knocks interrupted his thoughts.

" Yu Xiaolong! Come out! You owe me 12 bags of candy! " shouts can be heard outside his door.

" I'm in the middle of something! I'll get you your candy later! " Yu Xiaolong shouted back.

" I don't care! You lost, I have the better alter form! Now, pay up! " Another shout echoed beyond the door.

' Whew. Inner peace... Let's pretend that it's nice and quiet. '

Seeing no response coming from inside the room even after all her shouting. The person outside his room became enraged.

" Fine! If you aren't coming out, I'll just have to go in! "

Yu Xiaolong hadn't even had the time to register her words when he heard a loud crash, followed by the sight of his door bursting to pieces.

His brain soon registered the culprit responsible for the destruction of his door. It was a black serpent-like eel, it was at least three meters long and as thick as a bucket.

The temperature of his room plummeted down instantly, making his breath visible.

With the menacing creature staring right down at him, Yu Xiaolong felt that his knees would give way. The shivering cold and the massive figure was making a mess out in his room.

" Yu Xialong! " The creature roared " Where are the candies! "

" Xu-Xue'r Didn't I say that I'll give you the candies later? " Yu Xiaolong said, nervously.

The huge eel narrowed her eyes " No! You're going to forget all your promises if I didn't take the time to remind you. "

Facing the threat of being frozen or chewed alive, Yu Xiaolong chose to do what any sane person would do in his situation.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let out a mighty scream.

" Mom! My little sister is bullying me! "
